COHABITATION AGREEMENT LEGAL FORMS SOFTWARE

A greater number of unmarried couples are living together today with no intention of getting married -- or without the ability to get married -- for many different reasons. In most states in this country, the law usually does not recognize or give Life Partners in such a relationship many, if any, legal rights. With this software from Standard Legal, you and your Life Partner can enter into certain agreements with regard to your relationship and the property rights of each, thereby offering protection and peace of mind.

PURCHASED INDIVIDUALLY, THESE LEGAL TITLES COST $59.80. Standard Legal has priced this software at $34.95 and packaged it with specific revisions and language for Life Partner situations. These legal forms can be used by a man-and-woman couple or by same-sex partners. The following legal documents are included within this Life Partner Cohabitation Agreement software:

COHABITATION AGREEMENT

Cohabitation Agreements have become the legal vehicle of choice for those living together as partners without the benefit of a formal or legal marriage.

A Cohabitation Agreement is a written contract entered into by two people prior to living together. The Agreement addresses the various financial and/or property issues that may arise during the cohabitation or relationship of the parties that must be resolved if the relationship ends. Reaching agreement on these difficult issues before they arise (and while the parties are not involved in disagreements or potential hostilities) can ease the stress and anxiety that often arises should the relationship reach that end.

There are two Cohabitation Agreement legal forms provided with this software; choose the form that best meets your needs:

- Cohabitation Agreement with Specific Percentage Contribution;

- Cohabitation Agreement with Equal Contributions.

LIVING WILL - ADVANCED HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE

This software contains an Advanced Health Care Directive, which is both an evolution as well as a compilation of the traditional elements of a Durable Healthcare Power of Attorney and a Living Will. An Advanced Health Care Directive can be used to make known certain decisions and preference with regard to health care and life ending situations in a Life Partnership.

An Advanced Health Care Directive allows you to tell your doctor and your family members what kind of care you would like to have if you become unable to make medical decisions for yourself -- and what types of healthcare you would NOT like to have performed. The Advanced Health Care Directive allows you to designate more specifications than the traditional Living Will, which typically announces only your desire not to receive life-sustaining treatment if you are terminally ill or in a permanently unconscious state. An Advance Health Care Directive allows you to appoint someone you trust to speak for you when you are incapacitated.

The Living Will portion of the accompanying document allows the Principal to request that artificial life-sustaining procedures be withheld or withdrawn when he or she is unable to make responsible decisions regarding medical care.

The software also contains a Durable Power of Attorney for Property, which allows the Principal the opportunity to designate a trusted advisor to handle the financial and property aspects of his or her life should a medical emergency or long-term situation arise.

Standard Legal also includes a Notice of Final Disposition document. This document allows you to describe your wishes as they pertain to funeral arrangements and the disposition of your bodily remains. Using this document permits you to declare your desires while you are alive for specific funeral arrangements and burial or cremation (or other processes) after death. This document should be provided to your loved ones now, relieving them of having to make these choices during a difficult time. If there is no Final Disposition document prepared in advance, the law in the state where you die generally determines who will decide how the remains are handled. This document allows you to make your wishes known in advance!

By using all of these documents wisely, a person can prepare specific, detailed instructions for his or her family, partner and friends that will let them know exactly what to do should a healthcare emergency arise.

LAST WILL & TESTAMENT

This Standard Legal Software package allows non-married partners to quickly and easily create a comprehensive Last Will and Testament document that is tailored specifically to the partner's situation. In almost every state, a non-married partner will usually not receive any of the testator's property unless that person is named in the Will. As such, unless you create a Will providing that your property (some, part or all) and assets be provided to your Life Partner, your non-married partner may receive nothing under the law. As such, a Will is a powerful tool to allow your wishes to be fulfilled.

Types of Wills Provided in this Software:

- Will for Single Person with Children, Property to Children;

- Will for Single Person With No Children, Property to the Persons Named in the Will;

- Will With Specific Gifting Provisions;

- Will Directing Sale of Assets and Payment of Proceeds to Beneficiaries.

QUITCLAIM & SURVIVORSHIP DEEDS

If you need to transfer the ownership of real property from one person to another, you will need to prepare, sign and file a deed. A deed acts as the document showing the transfer of a piece of property from one person or party to another. Deeds can transfer property from one Life Partner to both Partners, or directly to the other partner if that is the wish of the property owner. To be effective, the deed must be filed or recorded with the recorder's office or real estate office in the county where the property is located. There is usually a fee for filing the deed and transferring the property.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS, SOFTWARE SPECIFICATIONS, AND FILE USE:

Standard Legal software is PDF-based and works on virtually all Windows, Apple, Macintosh, Android and Linux-based PCs, laptops, tablets and mobile devices.

Using the FREE Adobe Reader, the legal documents are interactive PDFs featuring a questionnaire that converts the information you provide into a finished legal document. It is critical to use the most up-to-date version of Reader; if you already use Reader, see 'Help > Check for Updates' in the program's menu to get the latest version. The commercial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro can also be used to complete the forms. Adobe Reader should ALWAYS be used as a stand-alone program or mobile app and NEVER within a web browser.

Links to a downloadable .zip file are presented immediately upon the completion of your order. This .zip must be expanded to access the PDF files. Most computers have an expansion program like WinZip pre-installed; if your computer does not have one, we recommend StuffIt Expander (it's FREE!). Once the file is downloaded, all documents within can be completed offline, no internet connection required. Read the START-HERE.txt file included in the initial download for more instructions.

Access links to the downloadable .zip file and/or the online forms server for this title are available for one (1) year after the date of purchase, upon request. Files downloaded and saved to a device may be used without time limit, but new downloads are no longer accessible one year after the date of purchase. A discount code is available to past customers by email to make a new or updated purchase.

To use any type of software requires a basic understanding of how a computer device operates. To use Standard Legal software, you must be able to complete these basic computer tasks: download a software file; expand a .zip file; enter a username and password to access a protected website; navigate a menu; install and launch a program; and open, save then print a completed document. If you do not fully understand how to complete any of these common steps, we recommend you use our Document Preparation Service or find a local attorney to create documents for you.

WANT YOUR SOFTWARE ON A CD? A software CD of your legal form titles can be mailed to you for an additional $9.95 by choosing that shipping option during checkout. Software CD Details.
